It’s been a long time coming with numerous leaks and sneak peeks, but now, Sony Ericsson has officially launched the new XPERIA X2, and the big news is that it will be running on Windows Mobile Phone 6.5. And Engadget has got some hands-on time with it, with a full video of the same.Like its predecessor, this one is packed with so much stuff that the company probably didn’t have space to write ‘kitchen sink included’. The one big disappointment from the last model persists, though, as the X2’s 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen (65K colours, 800x480 pixels) is still resistive (probably to make a stylus work with WinMob 6.5) and does not come with an accelerometer. Switching from portrait to landscape mode is still activated by sliding out the keyboard. Really, Sony, what are you thinking with this one?
The Panel UI has gotten a makeover, and now you can go for a new bubbled layout apart from the 3x3 grid, as well as get the option of setting panels according to the time of the day. Aaron Duke, a product manager on the X2, has come out with a video explaining the changes:
Another significant change is that Sony has dropped the plastic menu buttons and gone with an optical trackpad for the same, giving the phone a sleeker, sexier look. Nice one, that!
The camera gets a huge boost as the X2 comes equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor with autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, geo-tagging, image stabilisation, face detection, smart contrast and video light for VGA footage. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 | Mobile Chargers | Sony Ericsson P1i
